Description from the seller
Natural Ruby-Zoisite Point – Zoisite with Ruby
Ornamental tip carved from a single natural block of ruby-zoisite, a metamorphic rock consisting of green zoisite with natural ruby inclusions. The specimen was selected for the quality of the material and subsequently worked to achieve a slender, geometric form, suitable for display as an ornamental object or for a collection.
Zoisite forms the main matrix of the stone, with hues ranging from light green to deeper green, enriched by dark inclusions and natural irregularities typical of metamorphic rocks. Within the matrix, authentic traces of ruby are visible, untreated and not artificially colored, distributed irregularly according to the natural growth of the mineral. These inclusions represent corundum nuclei formed during the metamorphic processes that affected the rock deep underground.
